MUSTANG REGION

The landscape of Mustang is more akin to a grand high desert dotted with solitary mountain pillars rather than the usual forested and high pastures typical of the Himalayan Mountains. These high plateaus and barren windswept terrains together present a colorful mosaic made up principally of ochre, yellows and brown shades. It is one of Nepal's most mysterious and least known kingdoms. Most find the trekking relatively easy along the permitted route to Lo Manthang, which lies in the very heart of Mustang. This is a land unlike most of Nepal. It sits in the rain shadow of the Himalaya and receives much less rain then the rest of the country. In that regard it is much drier and has a mystical desert-like landscape not found anywhere else in Nepal. Strong winds generally howl across the area in the afternoon, generally and subside at night. It is also an enclave for the Tibetan people who call Nepal their home. Forbidden and isolated from the rest of the World it was able to evolve its own distinctive culture and traditional which is so rich & unique. The capital is Lo-Mustang. It is a walled city once ruled by religious king. Mustang maintains an “untouched” feel as life in Mustang goes on as it has for centuries. And this region will not disappoint, this area provides spectacular mountain scenery highlighted by Dhaulagiri at 8167 meters (26,795ft) and Annapurna I at 8091 meters (26,545ft). Surround Mustang are more than 35 mountains over 6000 meters (19,680ft) high. Trekkers will find the trail covers and elevation anywhere between 2815 meters (9,233ft) to 3780 meters (12,398ft) above sea level.
